CDD is a strategy that helps poor municipalities identify challenges around reducing poverty and make informed decisions on a range of locally identified options for development. It gives control of resources to address local poverty to communities, as well as builds the capacity of both states (including local governments) and civil society stakeholders to provide assistance and respond to calls for support from poor communities as they implement development initiatives.
The project is designed to empower communities in targeted municipalities to achieve improved access to services and to participate in more inclusive local planning, budgeting, implementation, and disaster risk reduction and management.
3. SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM
The DSWD’s Sustainable Livelihood Program aims to help communities in the Philippines develop sustainable livelihoods. It encourages poor families to engage in market-driven micro-enterprises and explore employment opportunities.
Through the program, participants can choose between two tracks: micro-enterprise development and employment facilitation. The agency helps them organize their groups and develop their own strategies to sustain their livelihoods.
Through this partnership with the private and public sectors, the agency can provide various services such as financial literacy training and employment opportunities.

4. Protective Services for Individuals and Families in Difficult Circumstances
As the leader in the field of social protection, the DSWD is mandated to provide the best possible service to the citizens. It is also responsible for addressing the various needs of the poor and vulnerable members of society. This includes implementing programs and projects that are aimed at improving the quality of life for these individuals.
The following is an amendment to Memorandum Circular No. 11, which was issued in 2019 to provide updated guidelines on the implementation of assistance to individuals in crisis situations. The DSWD continuously provides various social welfare and protection services to help individuals and families affected by the COVID-19 health crisis. These include the provision of assistance to individuals in crisis situations.
Due to the seriousness of the situation since the start of the pandemic, the number of people seeking assistance from the DSWD has increased. This is because of the various community quarantine measures that have been implemented in the country. These include the provision of food, transportation, and medical assistance and other support services through cash aid.
The DSWD is also expected to enhance its policy in addressing the increasing number of people who are seeking assistance from the agency. This is because the agency is expected to accommodate the growing number of clients who are requesting social safety nets.
In line with the recommendations of the IATF-EID, the DSWD is also expected to implement a new normal approach to addressing the increasing number of people who are seeking assistance from the agency. This will be carried out through the implementation of the agency’s AICS (Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations)
The services under AICS are the following:
1. Financial and Material Assistance – Financial assistance is the provision of monetary support in the form of outright cash and/or guarantee letter to augment the resources of the client whereas material assistance is the provision of non-food items. These are further classified into:
Transportation Assistance – Provided, however, that transportation assistance shall be limited to clients seeking assistance for essential travels within the Philippines, as authorized in M.C. No. 11, series of 2019.
Medical Assistance – assistance with hospitalization costs, drug costs, and other medical treatments and procedures. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in anticipation of the possible spread of other viruses and diseases, this Circular included modifications to the provision for medical assistance.
Burial Assistance – financial assistance to defray funeral and related expenses, including but not limited to transportation of the deceased’s remains to the deceased’s residence and/or burial site in accordance with existing family customary practices, particularly among Indigenous Peoples and Moros.
Educational Assistance – a type of financial assistance provided to eligible students to help defray school expenses and/or the cost of sending students/children to school, with priority given to working students in public high schools, vocational/technical schools, state colleges, and universities.
Food Assistance – the provision of assistance to clients in order to meet their basic needs for food and other necessities. The assistance may be in the form not limited to the following: food packs distribution or outright cash or voucher.
Cash assistance for other support services – outright cash assistance provided to individuals and families in extremely difficult circumstances where the need does not fall under the previous assistance.
2. Psychosocial Intervention– a group of non-biomedical interventions aimed at changing a person’s behavior and relationship with society in order to reduce the effects of crisis-related stress. It may include, but is not limited to, cognitive or behavioral therapies. Essentially, it entails providing immediate relief for psychological and emotional issues under certain conditions.
3. Referral to Other Services – refers to assistance that is not available at the CIU or SWAD Satellite Office but can be obtained through other resources and/or network referrals to appropriate agencies for legal services, psychosocial interventions, and even admissions to residential facilities for temporary shelter are all part of this.
The beneficiaries are the individuals and/or families who are indigent, vulnerable, disadvantaged, or otherwise in crisis situation based on the assessment of the Social Workers.
The eligibility of the client to avail of the services shall be determined during the interview and scrutiny of the supporting documents presented. The social worker shall discern the capacity of the family to address the problem by looking keenly on the available resources that the family could access or utilize, and the assessment of the social worker shall be the basis for recommendation.
5. Alternative Family Care Program
In order to help children in need of an adoptive family, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has passed a Domestic Adoption Law. The law mandates the DSWD to facilitate the provision of immediate and permanent placement of a child legally available for adoption, needing an adoptive family.
Domestic Adoption Law was passed into law on February 25, 1998, while its IRR was passed on October 30, 1998.
Children who are legally free or eligible for adoption may be adopted by a family that can provide them with love, protection, and opportunities for growth and development.
An alternative family care program is a type of care that provides temporary or permanent placement services for children whose parents can’t provide for their basic needs. It can be caused by various factors, such as illness and poverty.
The DSWD social pension is a monthly stipend for poor Filipinos over the age of 60 who qualify for assistance. This benefit is designed to help them meet their basic needs, such as food, shelter, clothing, and medicine.
Republic Act 9994, otherwise known as the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2003, provides indigent senior citizens with a monthly stipend of PHP500.00 to augment their daily subsistence and other medical needs. Those who can qualify for this stipend are:
Indigent Senior Filipino Citizens who are:
60 years old and above
Receiving no pension from GSIS, SSS, AFPMBAI/Armed Forces & Police Mutual Benefit Association, Inc, and other insurance companies
Have no regular source of income
Have no financial assistance from his or her relatives to support the basic needs
Are frail, sickly or with disability
The Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens was implemented nationwide in order to provide financial assistance to senior citizens who are not able to work. The pension program considers the following priorities, taking into consideration the following conditions and eligibility criteria of senior citizens and subject to the availability of funds:
Age:
First Priority – 80 years old and above;
Second Priority – 70-79 years old;
Third Priority – 65 – 69 years old
Economic Status:
Economic Status is determined by the local social welfare and development based in city or municipal halls. A social worker will help determine if you are eligible for a pension based on your age (the older you are, the more likely you will be eligible), as well as your economic status (if you have no permanent source of income). If so, an application will be sent out to you once your social worker has approved it.
You can also visit any Senior Citizen Center near you for more information about the program’s eligibility requirements.
7. Supplementary Feeding Program
The Early Years Act of 2013, or Republic Act 10410, provides for the establishment of child development centers (CDCs) in public schools. This law provides that all children enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools will be provided with two meals a day. The additional food served is called the “supervised neighborhood play” meal, which is intended to provide nutrition and encourage physical activity during school hours as well as afterschool care.
The Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act, or Republic Act 11037, supplements the provisions of RA 10410 by providing additional funding for school feeding programs. It also requires that these programs be implemented in all schools nationwide by 2022.
The DSWD’s Supplementary Feeding Program provides food to children who are currently enrolled in child development centers. This program is part of the government’s efforts to provide early childhood education and development services.
The program provides food to children at the start and end of their school day. It is carried out through the provision of hot meals and dry rations during break or snack time. These are used to supplement the children’s nutritional intake and improve their overall health. This support is carried out through the use of locally produced and indigenous food products.
Through the program, the DSWD aims to improve the health and well-being of children and their parents. It also helps parents and caregivers develop effective nutrition and hygiene practices. The children are weighed at the start of their feeding period and for three months thereafter. After 120 feeding days, the children’s nutritional status will be determined.
8. Bangsamoro Umpungan sa Nutrisyon (BangUn Project)
Presidential Decree No. 603, or Child and Youth Welfare Code, is a comprehensive community-based, culturally-responsive convergence of services that address the high incidence of hunger and malnutrition among children in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The code is an inter-agency approach that will engage parents, communities, local government units (LGUs), national government agencies (NGA), and civil society organizations (CSOs). The goal of this code is to reduce the incidence of malnutrition among children.
The goal of the Bangsamoro Umpungan sa Nutrisyon Project is to address the increasing incidence of malnutrition and hunger among children in Muslim Mindanao.
The project aims to save the lives of children who are at risk of dying due to malnutrition. It also aims to improve the nutritional status of those who are severely underweight. It additionally aims to build resilient communities by supporting parents and guardians in accessing nutrition-support programs.
The project’s components include nutrition direct services, which include health check-up and micronutrient supplementation, as well as education and advocacy programs. These include responsible parenthood sessions, nutrition literacy classes, and events related to health and nutrition. It additionally aims to build resilient communities through the provision of cash-for-work, livelihood skills training, access to potable water, and the production of indigenous food.
The project’s beneficiaries are the following: children aged 0-4 years in communities, children aged 4-6 years in Muslim schools, children aged 12 to 16 years in public schools that are not covered by the Department of Education’s feeding programs, pregnant women, and lactating mothers.
9. Implementation of RA 10868 or the Centenarian Act of 2016
The “CENTENARIAN ACT OF 2016” is a law that provides various privileges and benefits to Filipino centenarians. It was enacted to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the country’s founding. The eligible beneficiary of this program will receive a cash gift of one hundred thousand pesos from the national government.
The President of the Philippines has signed a letter of felicitation for the living centenarian. A Posthumous Plaque of Recognition will also be given to the deceased centenarian’s surviving relative.
A centenarian residing in a municipality or city can also receive a cash incentive and a Plaque of Recognition form the local government or city. The Department of Interior and Local Government has issued guidelines and directives to ensure that the program is implemented properly.
To celebrate the National Respect for Centenarians Day, every 1st Sunday of October is celebrated as part of the annual Elderly Filipino Week (EFW). This national event honors our centenarians for their longevity.

10. Tax Reform Cash Transfer Project
The government’s comprehensive tax reform program aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the tax system. It complements ongoing economic, budget, and customs reforms to improve the competitiveness of the business environment and reduce poverty.
The program’s first phase includes various measures aimed at improving the tax system’s efficiency and effectiveness. Some of these include the reduction of personal income tax, the establishment of a value-added tax base, and the removal of various exemptions. Other measures include the increase of the excise on oil products, the introduction of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax, and the removal of various tax exemptions.
The tax reform program aims to protect the poor and vulnerable by implementing various social measures. One of these is the implementation of the Unconditional Cash Transfer program. This is a cash transfer program that provides financial assistance to the poor.
The Unconditional Cash Transfer Program (UCT) is part of the TRAIN Law’s tax reform mitigation program. It provides cash grants to low-income families and individuals who may be unable to benefit from the lower tax rates due to rising prices. These guidelines are issued to ensure that the program is carried out properly.
The program aims to provide cash grants to the poor and individuals who may not be able to benefit from the lower tax rates. It additionally targets those who are adversely affected by rising prices.
In line with its efforts to help the poor, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has been providing unconditional cash transfers (UCT) to households in the first to seventh income deciles of the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR), Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, and the social pension program for a period of three years from the effectivity of RA 10963.
The UCT is a financial aid that beneficiaries can use for their daily needs and other expenses. It is released monthly through bank deposits or through direct credit to individual beneficiaries’ accounts at accredited banks.
The UCT refers to the social welfare benefit under the TRAIN in the amount of P200 per month in 2018; and P300 per month in 2019 and 2020. UCT program aims to protect and improve the lives of the poor and vulnerable by providing welfare programs without any conditions upon the receivers’ action.
In a nutshell, UCT is a cash transfer program that aims to help low-income households cope with rising prices of goods and services.
The goal of the recovery and reintegration program for trafficked individuals is to provide them with the necessary services and support to get back on their feet. Through the efforts of the anti-trafficking task force in the region, social workers are able to respond to cases of trafficking.
The Comprehensive Anti-Trafficking Act of 2003 (Republic Act 9208) established the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), which coordinates and monitors the implementation of all anti-trafficking programs, projects, and activities. The IACAT is composed of representatives from the Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Justice, Department of Labor and Employment, Commission on Filipinos Overseas, Department of Social Welfare and Development, National Bureau of Investigation, Philippine National Police and Presidential Action Center.

24. Programs and Services for Persons with Disabilities
The DSWD is the primary agency responsible for programs and services that benefit people with disabilities. It develops and implements these initiatives in order to improve their lives, by:
– The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons Act of 2002, which prohibits discrimination against disabled people and their families, offers legal protection to people with disabilities and their families.
